Hello All,My brother who is a Delaware law expert working in California told me about BiggerPockets.I'm very aware of the online Real Estate forums and communities in Canada, and as an author and university instructor I contribute to them regularly, but in recent years I have become interested in both learning more about the U.S. markets, and sharing my knowledge of the Canadian market with Americans.Regards,Claude Boiron
